Swimmers Mixed Media Painting
"The Swimmers was inspired by a visit to the Sutro Baths and museum in San Francisco, along with historical images from that time (late 1800s, early 1900s). The ladders are both reminiscent of its original stairs and my own series of ladder people drawings that I do from time to time." ~ Jamie Kelty
Description
The raw materials and meticulous details in Jamie Kelty's collages reflect her memories, history and a crafted world of design. "When I make these art works, I want to give the characters some grounding, memento, or insight that connects the character to the story and visually adds interest, texture, and depth to the composition." ~ Jamie Kelty
